Tamzin Lightwater's unique take on the week

issue 03 October 2009

So exciting! Where better for The Party of The North to hold its last conference before taking power than Manchester? This is a vibrant city with many shops, restaurants and nightclubs. The cultural scene is diverse, the tap water is drinkable, and local people are friendly and welcoming. That said, please dress casually (no club or old school ties) and observe local customs wherever possible, especially when outside the secure zone.

In terms of theme — think great, sweeping ideas! Wonky Tom is moaning that all our super new policy proposals won’t stand up to scrutiny. He just doesn’t get it. They sound absolutely lovely and as for detail, well, that’s what civil servants are for and we’ll have loads of those in few months’ time!!

MONDAY

Mr Pickles will kick things off by making lots of jokes in a funny accent about not knowing what blogging is! He really is only joking of course.
